Re: Coston/Causton connection

I have not found the parents of my William W. Costen, b. 1809 Mecklenburg Co., NC, much less the immigrant ancestors. I continue to believe his parents were James & Susanna "BERRYHILL" Costen who were in Mecklenburg Co., NC Some family members indicate the COSTENs came from England but others say they came from Ireland.I don't rule out any spelling of the name since I've found various ones used in my own family.Any suggestions or clues that you might offer will be most helpful.
